A new website offering evidence-based resources for mental health professionals supporting trauma-exposed children and young people is now available to access, free of charge.

The ‘Child and Adolescent Trauma Resources’ website has been developed by a team of leading academics and clinicians, and offers a single point of access to high-quality and trusted resources.

It holds wide range of information and tools for professionals in the field, including supervision tools, animations and leaflets for young people and caregivers, and resources to support practice. 

It also offers four-module e-learning sessions to support the delivery and supervision of therapists using trauma-focused therapies.  

The site has been developed as part of the ADaPT study, a large implementation research project exploring barriers and facilitators to the provision of cognitive-behavioural-based mental health treatments to children and young people with experience in the care system.

The ADAPT study was led by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Applied Research Collaborations (ARCs), including ARC North Thames, ARC West, ARC North East and North Cumbria, and ARC South West Peninsula (PenARC).
